Design story
The molecular candelabra is a modern take on the classic dinner-table candelabra — instead of formal classical curves, it reads as a science-class molecule diagram brought to scale. Its modular, interlocking form is a familiar modern-decor silhouette. Six configurations let you pick the scale that fits your table.

Polished or brushed metal arms (variant-dependent) with ABS connectors and metal candle cups. Flat-pack assembly with all connectors included.

Frequently asked questions
Does it assemble easily?
Yes — flat-pack with snap-fit connectors. About 5 minutes start to finish, no tools needed.
What size candles fit?
Standard taper candles, Ø 2 cm / 0.8 inch. The most common size at any home goods store.
Can I configure it differently each time?
Yes — the modular connectors let you rebuild it into different shapes for different occasions.
Is the silver real silver?
Silver-tone metal finish — not solid silver. Durable for table use.
Is it stable with all candles burning?
Yes — the base is weighted and the geometry is engineered for stability. We still recommend never leaving lit candles unattended.
Does it work with LED taper candles?
Yes — any standard-diameter LED taper fits the cups.
